MOVIE OF THE WEEK- MILLION DOLLAR BABY

"THE BEST WAY TO DIE- CLINT EASTWOOD SHOOTING WHILE MORGAN FREEMAN NARRATES IT"

                                                                                               -some random guy
Well.. Well.. Here you have both of them.. Freeman narrates it.. But Eastwood is not the 'sharp shooter' as he was in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.. He fight.. Yeah.. He is a veteran boxing trainer..

The leading roles, Frankie Dunn, Maggie Fitzgerald are done by Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank respectively. Morgan Freeman has done the role of Eddie Dupris, Frankie's friend and faithful employee. The story is narrated ny Freeman.. That itself shows how brilliant it would be.. Something told by Freeman can never be bad.. Right??

Million Dollar Baby,2004 is an american sports drama film directed by Clint Eastwood. The film portraits a training gym run by Frankie and his employee Eddie. The gym was not doing good. Added to that his fighter,who was groomed by him to a world class status has payed him back by signing an agreement with another manager. Frankie has devoted his life to the ring and training. It was at that time,a lady Maggie Fitzgerald came to Frankie and asked if he could train him. Frankie was not interested in training women and he didnt accept her request. But, later Frankie had to due to her determination and love.. The rest of the movie deals with the personnel relationship between the trainer and the trainee.

The 4 Academy Award winning movie is thoughtful, unfashionable, honest, simple and shows us that life can really fuck you at times.. "You plan everything.. Everything goes according to your plan and here you have a happy ending" Life doesnt work that way.. It has alwasy gor other plans..and it stick ti its...

The movie had won 4 Oscars;
Best motion picture of the year,
Best performance by an actress in leading role (Swank),
Best performance by an actor in supporting role (Freeman), and
Best achievement in directing (Eastwood).

I personally like this movie very much and thought of sharing it with you... So we selected this as the movie of the week(its too late.. its already sunday.. pardon us for that)...

ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA - THE BOOK OF ANY THING AND EVERYTHING

I can say without any doubts that the ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA is the most popular and the most sold English encyclopedia. Do you know what is special about the Encyclopedia Britannica on December 6 ?  The date is so special because the first Encyclopedia Britannica was published on December 6, 1768.

Now let me tell you some facts about the Britannica. The 2010 edition is the last printed edition of this encyclopedia. Rather than nearly hundred full time writers over 4000 people have contributed which includes 110 Nobel Prize winners and five American presidents. The encyclopedia Britannica is the oldest English encyclopedia still in production. The first encyclopedia was a three volume book later the book expanded and released the fifteenth and last edition as a 32 volume book. The book contains about 40 million words on half a million topics.

The 21 century marked the set back of the Encyclopedia Britannica. The large boom in the development and use of the electronic medias allowed people to get information about anything and everything online rather the using Britannica. But Encyclopedia Britannica will remain in the hearts of  all knowledge seekers.
